Hey guys,

 

BACKGROUND:

As some of you know I am working towards my engineering degree. (Currently a junior)

I have to do an project for a prob. stats. class dealing with 2^k testing. I am working in a group with two other guys. I convinced them to do an experiment involving ballistics (it wasn't to hard considering one of the guys is a Marine). We decided on a series of tests to measure various factors on bullet accuracy. (load, manufacturer, etc.)

 

QUESTION:

Can I bring 2 people to Cherry Ridge with me?

NOT being shooting guests, they will not need to step in front of the firing line or handle any weapons. They will simply be measuring some groups and observing the process, from a safe distance.

 

I'm not sure if the guest policy only applies to people shooting or simply people on the property with me?

 

Thanks for your answers, and sorry for the lengthy post

Call the main number to Cherry Ridge and ask for either Scott or Gene. One of them will be able to give you a definite answer as opposed to our guesses here on the forums.

That's a good question. The rules on the website specifically state "A sponsoring member may bring only one shooting guest, per visit, to the range."... so reading that I would assume as long as they're just standing there taking notes they're ok.

 

Honestly tho, I've never had a non-shooting guest, and can't recall anyone I've been with having one either. So can't say for certain. Probably worth a call or email unless someone here knows for sure.

I've brought my daughters to watch me shoot before they were members and never had an issue. I would suggest letting the RSO know ahead of time what you are doing and explain that you will be responsible for their safety and enforcing the rules during a ceasefire / hot firing line. Even though they will not have weapons, they still need to observe the yellow line when anyone is down range during the ceasefire. It shouldn't be a problem.

Spectators are fine....Good luck.....

The reason that I won't join this range is because of the visitor policy. I for one choose to bring a visiter at least every other time I go, and the policies here are not conducive. I want to expand the enjoyment of firearms, the 2nd Amendment and going to a Range, and the policies and price for membership are too costly.

There are a lot of nice people that go there, but a lot are arrogant as well.

They allow 2 now... $25 each. However, you all must use the same bench and target stand.
